How do you solve a
problem like Maria
How do you catch a
cloud and pin it down
How do you find a
word that means Maria
A flibbertigibbet a
will-o'-the-wisp a clown
Many a thing you know
you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought
to understand
But how do you make her stay
and listen to all you say
How do you keep a
wave upon the sand
Oh how do you solve a
problem like Maria
How do you hold a
moonbeam in your hand
